Experienced American Porsche Poole (175-SG-1989) put on an extraordinary performance in the last round for Salvadorenas and that's her to receive a Hoops Agents Player of the Week award for round 3.
The 34-year old shooting guard got a double-double of 26 points and eleven assists, while her team beat Teporacas (1-2) 99-93. In the team's last game Poole had a remarkable 58.3% from 2-point range. She turned to be Salvadorenas' top player in her first season with the team. Michigan State University graduate has very impressive stats this year. Poole is in league's top in points (2nd best: 22.7ppg) and averages solid 54.2% FGP. Worth to mention Poole played also at Eurobasket Summer League, which helped her get the job in pro basketball.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was young Colombian guard Manuela Rios (165-G-1997) of Teporacas. Rios impressed basketball fans with 26 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists. Bad luck as Teporacas lost that game 93-99 to Salvadorenas (1-2). The season is still at the very beginning and this lost game may not be such crucial, of course if they start win the games. Rios is a newcomer at Teporacas and it seems she did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 18.7ppg (#7). Her other stats are also decent: 6.7rpg and 6.3apg.

The third best performed player last round was another Salvadorenas' star - American Brandi Harvey-Carr (193-C-1994). Harvey-Carr scored 21 points and grabbed fifteen rebounds (!!!). She was another key player of Salvadorenas, helping her team with a 99-93 win against #4 ranked Teporacas in a game of the week. Harvey-Carr has individually a great season in WBLA. After only 3 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 21.0ppg (4th best) and rebounds with 12.3rpg (#1 in league).

The Player of the week is selected based on efficiency calculation, but also including game result, importance of the game, if played recorded double-double/triple-double, etc.
The efficiency formula is a combination of various formulas used by different basketball organizations/leagues. We got involved many basketball scouts and journalists to assure it's accuracy.
The formula: 1.5*PTS + 3*(REB+AST+ST+BL-TO) - 2*BSAG - 4*PF + 3*PFRV + 4*(2FGPM+3FGPM) + 1.5*FTM - 3*(2FGPA-2FGPM) - 3*(3FGPA-3FGPM) - (FTA-FTM)
